agandau Valued Member Australia 193 Posts	Posted 08/29/2014 7:53 pm I don't know about these tokens, but I would guess they would have been made to inform new migrants during the great migration boom after WWII. What catches my eye is the great condition of the real coins. I can make one to to be 1950 something but the photo is blurry. The coin dates may assist in dating these tokens.

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 09/03/2014 10:25 pm soon after my sons started primary school, they were taught about coins, and were handed plastic replicas, or "tokens". I'm wondering if you've stumbled over their pre-decimal equivalents ? If so, lucky you ! Report this Post to the Staff
